Editor's Note: Book Business Announces Promotions, New Hire
And finally there's me, Brian Howard, the new editor of Book Business and the Book Business Extra e-mail newsletter. I come to covering the publishing world from a long career in alternative, community, business and music publications, primarily with the Philadelphia City Paper and Target Marketing magazine, and, most recently, with an urban sustainability-focused Philadelphia magazine called Grid and a start-up national newsstand music magazine called Cowbell. I'm excited to be working under editorial director Noelle Skodzinski and with the aforementioned gentlemen to continue to bring you the most current, most useful publishing news, trends and strategies in 2012 and beyond. Please feel free to e-mail me at bhoward@napco.com with suggestions, ideas, questions, criticisms, holiday recipes, horoscopes, prognostications or exciting international financial opportunities. You can also find me on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter (@beegee73).
